Jim Malcolm is coming to this area again. He was part of Old Blind Dogs but has been traveling solo for the past couple years. He came to Olympia several times over the years I was there. Well, he’s going to be in Olympia on Feb 6th and in Seattle on Feb 7th (So, if you’re there, go to see him then), but now I’m on the list for the Portland area.
Susie mentioned that the shows in this area sell out pretty often:
“It’s my understanding that the Tualatin concert is already sold out (or almost sold out) and the same in McMinnville, but there are still seats at the Forest Grove concert. That event has always sold out too, so it would be best to make a move if you’d like to attend. And of course I hope you will! I think this year will be particularly good fun. Below is the msg I sent to our Portland list.”
Anyhow, here’s the message about the tour:
“Jim is coming to Oregon next month and will be playing concerts in Forest Grove OR on Thursday Feb 5th; in Tualatin OR on Sunday Feb 8th and in McMinnville OR on Monday Feb 9th. We really hope you can come to one of these concerts because this year’s tour will be like no other – and lots of fun.
2009 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, and in celebration Jim will be dressing up as the poet himself for the second set of his concert, to pay tribute in song (and in humour, of course) to Scotland’s most outstanding cultural figure. It will be highly entertaining and may never be repeated.
The first half of the evening will feature some of Jim’s best-loved songs and a handful of beautiful new songs from his latest CD, The First Cold Day, which will be on sale for the first time on this tour.
The concert and reservation details are in the full listings below.
Please come if you can – you don’t want to miss seeing Jim in his wig!
Warm wishes from Scotland.
Yours in music,
Susie Malcolm”
